Healthy fats, also known as unsaturated fats, are liquid at room temperature. Examples of healthy fats are olive, canola, and soybean oil. Less healthy fats, or saturated fats, are solid at room temperature. Lard, butter, and margarine are examples of less healthy fats. Healthy fats can be used to replace less healthy fats when preparing food, and they taste good! Try them in salad dressings, sauces, and when baking and cooking.
